digitalmars.D.learn - dmd -o- -map prevents creation of map file?

Hi all,
dmd 2.047 help states that the -map option switch "generate linker .map
file".
But when compiling a single (stand-alone) source file, dmd seems to
generate the .map file even if the -map switch is not present. Is this
wanted? Should it not simply generate the .map file only when the -map
option is present on the command line?

it would be nice if it didn't. I've never had a use for the map file.
